Paying the Pied Piper – Gibbs Edition

Whoa, that was fast. After opening statements began just a few days ago, SSG Gibbs sentenced to life in pound-you-in-the-ass prison for egging his subordinates into multiple counts of murder:

The jury deliberated for about four hours before convicting him on all charges. The sentencing hearing began immediately after the verdict was announced, with a prosecutor, Maj. Andre LeBlanc, asking for the maximum, life without parole. He told jurors that Gibbs was supposed to protect the Afghan people but instead caused many to lose trust in Americans. LeBlanc noted that Gibbs repeatedly called the Afghans “savages.”

“Ladies and gentlemen, there is the savage — Staff Sgt. Gibbs is the savage,” he said.
